Kessler Park,

Chestnut Trafficway, Kansas City, MO 64123

"We went to the Christmas light show here. It was a great drive-thru display. They synchronize the lights to music. Takes about 15-20 minutes to drive through. I would do it again next year. Make it a holiday tradition!"

"Came from River Market looking for a new bike trail other than the River Front and was pleasantly surprised! It is a very steep incline but the view is totally worth it. Road through the lower portion of the park on cliff drive(which is closed to cars). I also went up Maple Park to see the historic homes and Tiffany Castle. I was hesitant with previous reviews citing a homelessness problem-I only saw one homeless person minding their own. I felt safe seeing several other bikers/joggers on my Monday morning ride."

"It's a relic from another century that was a huge necessity. It provided water to all the homes in the Kessler Park area and now has become a unique piece of history full of artwork, but I also thought there was a lot of great photo opportunities especially with the pond around at the bottom. There's a frisbee golf course that surrounds the outside of the reservoir basically taking up most of the open park space. It's awesome!"

"It was beautiful, well kept, trash cans were available, nice and easily accessible trails, legible plaques and a statue. Great place for photo ops for special occasions. They also have resting benches. It really is absolutely gorgeous. Definitely worth the trip. The entire area is guaranteed worth driving around if not just for this, the nearby park and Tiffany Castle, as well as numerous other sites in the vicinity."

"Stopping by this historic area of Kansas City is great. There is so much to see. This area has been described as “wild and rugged,” “handsome,” and “beautiful and picturesque”. There is an awesome scenic path for driving, biking, or walking. The park also has a trail. Take in all the views. The historic homes are amazing."
